hi i am in the process of setting up oracle gateway for communicating between oracle and mysql. the oracle manual says very clearly that this kind of linking is possible. but it talks about some gateway running on the server where mysql database is running.i have the mysql database on a freebsd box and i dont understand what this gateway is all about. so if you have any set up documents or links out there can u please send it to me. thanks sai ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
